Predictions & Statistics

Lille approach this game with the confidence of a side sitting 3 on 57 points after 31 outings. The return of 17 wins, 6 draws, and 8 defeats, together with goals at 50:34, reflects very strong form with results showing strong momentum. Much of their attacking edge comes through M. Fernandez-Pardo (8 goals), H. Haraldsson (7 goals), O. Giroud (7 goals), with creative support from M. Fernandez-Pardo (5 assists), F. Correia (5 assists), R. Perraud (3 assists), while their defending has remained fairly stable. At home, the split of 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses supports the view of a very strong split record. They are competing near the top and remain under pressure to hold that position. Their football identity still points toward balanced attacking football.

With 31 points from 31 games and a place of 14, Le Havre still have clear room for improvement in overall consistency. The overall return of 6 wins, 13 draws, and 12 defeats with a 29:42 goal balance points toward poor form and have been stuck in a sequence of draws. Going forward they depend heavily on I. Soumare (6 goals), R. Ndiaye (4 goals), F. Doucoure (3 goals), with creative support from I. Soumare (5 assists), R. Ndiaye (4 assists), Sofiane Boufal (3 assists), while defensively they have looked quite vulnerable. Away from home, the split record of 1 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses points to a weak split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. Their broader football approach still suggests a more cautious and defensive approach.
